Ugh. Why would a wizard want to live in this damp, dirty place? It must be hard on books.
After returning the wand to Maui, Menik casts his own spell of
mage armor on himself.
"Not an elven building, that's for sure. This being a swamp, lower levels could be flooded. I should have thought of that before."
Be careful, Maui he almost says.
But he knows that already. I can see that. It would make no sense for me to offer him obvious scouting tips. So what should I say, good luck? I have no control over luck. It'd just seem ominous to say it.
